MOSFET Switching Circuit Protects Shape Memory Alloy Actuators
A small-footprint, full surface-mount-component printed circuit board employs MOSFET (metal-oxide-semi-conductor field-effect transistor) power switches to switch high currents from any input power supply from 3 to 30 V.

Optimized FPGA Implementation of Multi-Rate FIR Filters Through Thread Decomposition
This technique is used in design automation and in digital circuit design.
Multi-rate finite impulse response (MRFIR) filters are among the essential signal-processing components in space-borne instruments where finite impulse response filters are often used to minimize nonlinear group delay and finite-precision effects. Cascaded (multi-stage) designs of MRFIR ...

Circuit for Communication Over Power Lines
This technique can be used in vehicle sensors, building sensors, and other industrial control applications.
Many distributed systems share common sensors and instruments along with a common power line supplying current to the system. A communication technique and circuit has been developed that allows for the simple inclusion ...
